Must be 10 lines.
The working conditions are not good. It was really quite, hot, worked in the same line for long hours, they did not get breaks, they had children working, and they could not use the bathroom at all. They had to work for 8 hours and 60 Chinese hours.
The children were used on the lines to make the ipods and iPods and cell phones and computers. When the time came for the children to be hiding they would bring out the older worker. They put the older workers in the place of the younger workers so that they can still produce.
When people spoke out against working conditions they would be put on the blacklist. When they put on the blacklist they could no longer work anywhere else. They would be fired from that job and they would be without work.
1.) Why did the man feel so shocked to see the iPod?
He was shocked because he had never seen one of them in china before other then when he made it himself.
2.) Why do they continue to use young workers?
They use the workers because they are young and they work faster and if they are older then they cannot work fast.
3.) Why did the older worker man say he was happy to no longer work there?
He was happy to no longer work there due to the fact that he did not like the
Conditions there and the hours he is now working is a lot better.
